Dear Tutor,
As per marking guidelines, one fully explained relevant procedure earns one mark. I want to ask that if a particular requirement has 4 marks and I am not sure whether these have been written correctly.
So, for safety, if I write 6 procedures, instead of 4 Procedures (hoping that the checker picks the best 4). Will the checker consider the 5th, and 6th procedures I wrote, or will he/she stop after the 4th one?
Thank you.
July 28, 2021 at 6:27 am #629622The marker must mark everything – but consider this – which is better?
Candidate A writes only 3 but well-thought out sentences – gets 3 marks.
Candidate B writes 6 sentences – one of which is not relevant because they haven’t spent enough time thinking about them, another is effectively repetition (so no mark) and two are not sufficiently developed into full points (so only 1/2 mark) – also gets 3 marks.
But which is the better answer? Which would the marker prefer to mark?See also this post https://opentuition.com/topic/section-b-question
